Let’s be honest. Cher is one of the biggest icons in Rock’n’Roll. Yet, she told Kelly Clarkson today on her daytime talk show that she has not been inducted into the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame. And she has had #1 in every decade since the ’60s. The only other musicians to have done that are The Rolling Stones.
So what would happen if the HoF decided to induct Cher next year (because this year is done)? She wouldn’t say yes, even if they gave her $1 million.
In fact, she told the American Idol she would tell them to go fuck themselves. Well, she didn’t say that because she couldn’t curse on The Kelly Clarkson Show. But that is what she meant when she said they could “you know what themselves.”
Now, I hope they nominate her because she will show Dolly Parton and Dionne Warwick how you tell someone to fuck off in the least polite way!
Norton wanted to talk to the legend about the fact that someone is going to be playing her in a biopic. So, Julia Roberts yelled out, “Say it’s me. Please, say it’s me.” Then, Cher looked over her, tapped her shoulder, and said, “OK. It’s you.” to shut her up, which Roberts didn’t do.
Julia then imitated the unique way Cher flicks her back. And you can tell at this point Cher was over it because the singer looked at Norton as to say to him that he should pay attention to me and not her.
So he got the message and did. That is when he asked her if they had cast someone to play the part. And she said they haven’t because she can’t find anyone to fit her extraordinary life into a script short enough to be a movie.
So Cher asked for Tom Hanks’ help since he produced Mamma Mia 2, a movie she starred in, and he loved her singing in it. He especially loved the way she sang Abba’s Fernando. So he said as long as someone sings that song, it will be fine.
Hanks accidentally opened up a can of worms because she explained to him that she will be doing her own singing in the film. She hates it when people sing other people’s songs in production because it never sounds like the original singer.
That is when Roberts chimed in again, to explain not all the time. That is because Timothée Chalamet, who was also a guest, had just been cast to play Bob Dylan.
The difference between Cher and Dylan, is she is known for her voice, and Dylan for his lyrics.
Anyways, back to Cher. Roberts added that no one is like Cher and lovingly asked her, “How do you stand yourself?” Cher told, “I don’t! I’m a pain in the ass.”
But not as big of a pain in the ass as Roberts was to her during this episode.
And there was just one more zinger from Cher to Julia. When Cher said that her life was too big for a movie script, Roberts suggested they turn it into a miniseries. Cher didn’t even look at her when she said with disdain, “Yeah. I don’t think so.”
And with that, I love Cher even more! Because she doesn’t have time for anyone’s bullshit, including another Oscar winner who used to be highest paid female film actress.
Cher has had a loyal fanbase for over 50 years. But there is one person who is not a member of the Cher crew.
Today, when the legend was on The Graham Norton Show, the host asked her if she listens to her own music. “I am not a big Cher fan, so I don’t usually.” Then she added, “I usually like the songs that were hits.” Can you Believe that?
Norton followed up by wanting to know if she watches her own movies, and she told him no without hesitation.
Then Tom Hanks interjected and told her, “You’re missing out. Motion picture perfection, Mamma Mia 2. Fernando. When she busts out Fernando, the World stops, suns clash with the stars.”
Norton added Moonstruck, while Julia Roberts said Silkwood. I say Mask is by far her best film. That final scene has me ugly crying every time. What movie do you think is her best?
Now, back to her not being a Cheraholic. That makes me love her even more. Because so many Divas love themselves more than they should. For example, one who just released an audiobook for her memoir that is almost 50 hours long.
Back in 2010, Christina Aguilera and Cher worked on the movie Burlesque together. Therefore, X-Tina knows how to look and act like her legendary co-star.
But just because she knows Cher’s mannerisms, does that mean she can copy them? You tell me because Aguilera dressed as Cher for Halloween!
I would say just like their film, it is good but not great! And it’s not as bad as everyone says it is.
Cher is going to be on Santa Claus’ nice list because she is releasing a naughty gift this year.
“I’M SO +%#~>€ EXCITED ABOUT MY 🎅🏼🎄ALBUM. NEVER WANTED 2 DO ONE, BUT ITS AS GOOD AS ANY RECORD IVE MADE,” she wrote. “THIS IS NOT UR ‘MOTHERS🎅🏽🎄🎅🏼ALBUM.'”
That means Old Saint Nick will come down the chimney, hear her songs, and instantly he will be standing up like a chimney! Who needs cookies when have Mrs. Cher Claus?
Seriously, am I the only one who is excited about this album?
